And community leaders said the club and its owners, Indian chicken giants Venky’s, should be supporting a local firm, especially in the current economic climate.

The new deal, which Rovers said would improve the matchday experience for supporters, will run until 2017.

The agreement sees Foster’s continue as the main lager on offer in the stands, which will now be supplied by producer Heineken after previously being bought in by Thwaites.

John Smith’s Extra Smooth will be the bitter option available.

Cask ales, such as Deuchar’s IPA and Theakston Lightfoot, will be available in the Blues Bar.

MP Jack Straw condemned the decision as a ‘mistake in judgment’. He said the club should be supporting local businesses and jobs.

He said: “It is another mistake by a management team that is completely out of touch.

“They really do seem to have the opposite of the Midas Touch.

“Thwaites’ beer is infinitely better than that provided by Heineken.

“It is a ridiculous, silly and short-sighted decision.”

Blackburn with Darwen Council leader Coun Kate Hollern said the club should not be taking business out of the town.

She said: “Rovers should be supporting a Blackburn company.

“At the moment, where possible, we want local people to benefit from local decisions.

“But this just makes you wonder whether Venky’s have any interest in the community in Blackburn.”

Rovers fan Rick Boardman, of Darwen, said he understood the move from a business perspective.

He said: “I guess they have gone with the cheaper deal, but it is sad a local company loses out.

“Thwaites is one of the biggest and most historic firms in town so for it not to be involved with Rovers is a shame.

“I think a lot of people wouldn’t mind paying that little bit more if it meant supporting a local business.”

Phil Thompson, of Blackburn Rovers Football Club Action Group, said: “I don’t understand why it has been done.

“You would hope more support would be shown for a local company and that local suppliers would be the priority in this situation, especially in the current economic climate.

“It is disappointing.”

A spokesman for Thwaites said: “Thwaites has commercial pouring rights deals with a number of football clubs in the North West.

“We submitted a deal to Blackburn Rovers and on this occasion they have decided to go with a different supplier.”

Rovers head of commercial and marketing Greg Coar said Blackburn Rovers thanked Thwaites for an ‘excellent and supportive relationship’ over the past seven years.

He said: “Our aim is always to improve the fans’ enjoyment of coming to Ewood.

“The choice, quality, speed of service and price of the beer on offer is often an important part of that.

“We believe the choice of brands that Heineken offers, plus the investment in updating the dispensing of their products, will ensure the concourses, executive lounges and Blues Bar continue to provide a fantastic service for our guests and supporters.”

Heineken UK spokesman David Jones said: “Heineken is delighted to become the exclusive supplier of cider and beer at Ewood Park.

“The new partnership will give Rovers fans and visitors to the stadium the opportunity to enjoy a range of our market-leading draught and packaged brands in concourse bars and executive lounges throughout the ground.

“The agreement strengthens the association we curently enjoy with football through Heineken’s sponsorship of the UEFA Champions’ League and a number of commercial partnerships with leading Championship and Premier League clubs in England and Wales.”

Do Thwaites brew a lager? I don't mean Warsteiner or such... but their own actual branded 'Thwaites Lager'?
I'd maybe be supportive of summat like that if it was, if it were brewed and introduced.
There's nothing wrong with Heineken though, it's good enough for James Bond, Rovers however are utter bab.

BLACKBURN with Darwen council is to cut 500 jobs, scrap school uniform grants, phase out its four old people’s homes, and close children’s centres.

If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable.

Thwaites only have themselves to blame, They would have submitted the Tender which would of had an overall package which wasnt good enough.

This happens day in day out at businesses all over the world get over it.

Telegraph are regurgitating old news here. This was announced by Rovers on their website more than a week ago.

So far as I can see the only difference to people on the concourse will be John Smiths smooth instead of Thwaites smooth. Both of which are awful beers anyway. Lager drinkers will see no difference and if you go in Blues bar you get a choice of cask ales!

Its a little bit hypocritical of Thwaites to expect support from BRFC because they are a local firm when they are allowing dozens of their pubs in Lancashire to close and never re-open due to covenants they put in place. Perhaps if they cared a little bit more about 'local businesses' then the pub trade in Blackburn wouldnt be in the state it is today.

Maybe Thwaites became complacent after years of supplying. who knows but looks like a better business offer was put on the table by a new brewery. I cant see a problem. Business is Business. I do feel however that maybe smaller Micro Breweries could have got a look in, maybe having their Real Ale used as a guest Beer in the Club. Heineken probably wouldnt be keen as they would want to supply their own, just like Thwaites did, but Heineken would still get the majority of the trade and yet the Club would now support and promote EVEN MORE localised businesses. Maybe even Thwaites could have still supplied their cask ales as well, as a guest beer. Whether they would still want to is another matter but..............
Would that not have been better PR.
Just a thought!

"heineken is a fine lager as is deuchars ipa " errm, 'scuse me, but since when has Deuchar's IPA been a lager? I'd have thought that it would have been far better PR for them to promote a local product - Hopstar from Darwen for instance.

Get real ,free market economy in a ressesion most people will be glad to pay a bit less.
As for supporting a local business unless you work directly for thwaites it won't make one bit of difference to your life whatsoever.

As usual, Dan Clough gets it completely wrong and makes a mountain out of a molehill>

FACT: Thwaites used to have the supply agreement to Ewood Park and as part of that agreement, they sold Rovers Lagers and Ciders owned by Heineken . In effect, the only Thwaites product sold at the ground was bitter which would have accounted for around 20% of total sales.
Thwaites were invited to tender to retain the supply agreement but would not meet Rovers requirements for pouring rights so Rovers offered the total supply to Heineken Group.
The only changes are that Thwaites keg and cask beers change to John Smiths and Theakstons. None of these beers are produced in the Netherlands, the profit, if there were any, after the pouring rights fee would be retained in the UK and thats where any taxes would be paid.
For Jack Straw to declare that Thwaites Beers are infinitely better than Heineken's is a disgrace: at best, ill founded, at worst libellous and yet another pathetc attempt to ingratiate himself with people he cares nothing about.
As for CLOUGH, get back to writing for the school magazine.

What is the matter with everyone, you are seeing your club being systematically taken apart asset by asset before your very eyes and people keep giving their money to Venkys who think you are something to be scraped off their shoes.
They, sooner or later are going to take our club down when they have had every last penny out of it and it will be starting from scratch for Rovers, everyone knows it.SO WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL GIVING THEIR CASH TO THEM?

While I agree with all those who think Rovers should be supporting a local firm, didn't Blackburn Council once give a company from Leicester called En Tout Cas a contract to build the All Weather Pitches at Witton instead of local firm Scapa because their tender was 1p less. Short memories havn't they. Or has it anything to do with backhanders? Well, it's always gone on hasn't it.

For a moment I thought Jack Straw was talking about the PFI deal at BRI "ridiculous, silly and short-sighted". As for Greg Coar, marketing manager, saying "our aim is always to improve the fans' enjoyment of coming to Ewood", clear off then, along with everyone else that has arrived with the Venkys, and give us back our Club. If anyone at Thwaites is reading this, maybe you might want to sponsor some snow balls.

Knowing Thwaites as I do, they've probably priced themselves out of the market. At the end of the day, they are just too expensive. You only need to visit one of their pubs to realise this.

Whatever bid Thwaites put in, Heneken, as global bully boys would have made sure they put in a lower bid. Clubs like Rovers have no loyalty to their town. They are just commercial enterprises to further the interests of their owners.

By the Way Brighton make a point of always offering local cask beers at their new stadium. Great for both home and away fans.

Overpriced tasteless mass produced crap, wouldn't touch it with a bargepole if I was lost in a desert dying of thirst.

Why do reporters always ask the usual suspects stupid questions?

A politician or two, come on please tell me Jack Straw drinks the odious "Smooth"? All you are ever going to get from him is the politically correct "How many votes am I going to get with the best possible answer, for me".

What "Community Leaders?" Mustafa Job and his mates? Didn't think they were supposed to drink alcohol anyway.

And then they ask some clown from BRAG or BRSIT for an opinion? Well I don't have to be a bloody rocket scientist to guess what sort of answer they would give, bet I couldn't get decent odds.

Why don't they actually ask real people who might give an honest opinion for once, instead of deciding what the response they want is then asking the people who will give them the sound-bytes they are looking for.

Hypocrites.

the Walker boys sold BRFC to Venkys and left with all the cash and fled to Jersey.If the morons don't like the BRFC please stay away you lot will not be missed.
Now lets place an Indian Flag on Ewood Park and a statue of Mahatma Gandhi next to Jack Walker statue.

Did Mahatma Ghandi drink Cobra? Is that why he always wore a nappy?

The Venkys should sell COBRA BEER at Ewood Park an Indian OWNED COMPANY MR BILLIMORIA
HOLLAND'S PIES PART OF NORTHERN FOODS LTD OWNED BY INDIAN BILLIONAIRE NOW RANJIT BOPARAN.
I hope Asian owned business like Euro Garages ,Bestway Cash & Carry ltd,Accrol Papers,Star Tissues,New Look,Poundstrechers,
B&M Stores in BLackburn sponsers BRFC.
